Accomplishments of the Current Administration

Blogger Jon Smith makes a gratuitously snarky summary of the achievements of the Bush years:

In the three years and a half years since Hurricane Katrina not a single American city has been destroyed or partially destroyed....

Although the excesses of the Clinton administration's failed economic policies finally caught up with us in October 2008, in the seven years before this economic downturn the economy was doing really well. Not every President can boast of seven years of prosperity. What's more, even since October there have been no Great Depressions, which means President Bush has given us eight completely depressionless years....

Meanwhile, because of easy credit during the Bush years, more people had the opportunity to buy the homes of their dreams and live in them for a few years before they had to give them back....

Although some presidents can claim that they did not lose a war during their administrations, not many presidents can claim that they did not lose two wars.... Quibblers might say that he didn't actually win either conflict outright or that Afghanistan would be in better shape if we had kept more troops there and not invaded Iraq or offer all sorts of other coulda shoulda woulda arguments but the fact is that we didn't lose any wars and Bush deserves credit for that.

And more. Of all the "Bush Legacy" columns out there this last little while, I think this is the best.
